Not to be the guy who seems to only focus on officers in the game. But is there a way to change the names of the historic officers that appear for purchase in the barracks? For instance William Brewster in the Union campaign. I also got the AI officer heintzelman after Bull Run. Not the one from the barracks but a wounded Heintzleman. I believe he is a “division commander” for the AI in Bull Run. I know you fixed this issue for the most part and I haven’t received any other AI wounded in the other battles. I have had AI Division commanders get wounded in other battles, but they didn’t appear in my barracks, just that one time in 1.27a. Just passing along the discovery.

I appreciate the response. It would be very cool if down the line new officers could be added to the game. For now I will get by with using the names I added. Just started playing the newest version and its been challenging so far, great work.

I see in the change log "Wounded allied officers showing up in barracks partially fixed." Does this mean I will not be finding wounded historic officers in my barracks that normally would not have been in the game? If so is it possible to turn the bug back on?

I haven’t tried the latest version of the mod yet. However I have been experimenting on BG to try to get colonels to rank up faster and I’ve now had more success than in the vanilla game. I have 22! LGs as the Union right before Cold Harbor. I’ve never had more than 4 in the vanilla game even playing on colonel. By putting colonels in weak units until they reach BG. Then placing them in charge of a corps (usually the less important corps in early battles) until they reach MG then back into divisions. I made sure to move them around so they participated in every battle and it seems to have paid off rather well. On a side note one of my favorite things about vanilla play was getting A.I. officers in my barracks and learning about them. This mod seems to have significantly increased the amount of wounded, historically accurate officers that appear. Looking forward to playing the latest update.
